Fuchsia Madouc's page

Months later

Fuchsia twirls her red cloak as she approaches the statues. She leads several dozen young ratfolk like a pied piper. The young ones look like they don’t have much money, are well-fed and taken care of nonetheless.

See that? That’s your auntie Fuchsia! She spins and poses like the statue; the young rat children watch, entranced by their charismatic friend.

She produces her rapier, spins it, and points. That pumpkin-head is JACK. And the stick-person on his shoulder is Nutmeg. One of the ratfolk hums one of Jack’s songs. I’ll get their autograph next time they’re in town.

That’s ZARKE. See his hands, don’t they look kinda tired? They do to me. That’s ‘cause he spent probably hundreds and hundreds of hours fixing up me and my friends up after we got hurt. But he could dish out the hurt too, with that maul and his friend T’gon’l.

That dog-person in the long coat is ASTA. I’d like to think I learned something from him, but it was lots of boring lectures and stuff that I probably forgot. He was good with that sword-cane of his. It was almost fashionable, too, though he probably would never admit it.

That’s UNCLE YUTUUR. Official Ysoki. Even if he says otherwise. He gave up almost all his lives but one to save the town. His second-to-last life was the closest call of all because he’s still a scardey cat deep down, and fell for the illusions made by the Aspis agent. Anyways you know Uncle Yutuur already 'cause you see him when he visits for dinner, right?

Fuchsia pauses and frowns at her statue. The sculptor seems to have forgotten something… HER HAT!

Her eponymous cloaks swirl as she leaps onto the pedestal climbs up her own statue. She removes her own silk hat. She places it on the statue’s head and ties it tight before adjusting it to a jaunty angle. She leaps down to admire her own handiwork. That’s better.

**

Days later, the twine breaks. Fuchsia’s silk hat drifts away into an old garden where it's caught among the bottlebrush like a red bloom.

We did it!! Never had a doubt. You should have seen it, Yutuur. Now the most important question… just how big should our statues be? Fuchsia adjusts her silk hat and fancy red dress, practicing her most fashionable pose.

Fuchsia hides the tears in her eyes with a laugh.

Like I said… you had to have a couple cat-lives left. That's three left by my reckoning. But who's counting!?

Do your best to finish this, Cursie. For Yuttuur.

Fuchsia did not earn panache as the trigger for her Aid was not met.

Fuchsia strides, tumbles, and strikes.

I'm coming for you next!

Fuchsia, badly hurt, is still determined to kill the person who killed her friend. But she has to get past this dwarf first… she parries, then stabs twice with the flank.

A single tear falls from Fuchsia's whisker.

I always gave him a hard time about 9 lives… Please… Not like this. Not when we were just becoming such good friends.

Fueled by a cold rage as well the panache she gave her fallen friend, she darts quickly in and stabs the halfling. Smirk at THIS.

AHH!How'd Djana and Djoko telepo—!

Fuchsia's rapier droops.I was just seeing if you guys knew, she pouts.

--

She turns to Yutuur, trying to cajole her friend into doing the perceiving for her. Oh yeah. bunch more illusions here. You see them too, right? It's obvious to me. We rats have excellent sight and smell. Just follow my lead if you need help.

One For All (Diplomacy to Assist on Reaction) (E): 1d20 + 4 + 15 ⇒ (14) + 4 + 15 = 33 Should Yutuur make a perception check he gets +2 and I get panache

She moves in and parries, ready for the inevitable attack she knows is coming. from somewhere

Stealth (T): 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (3) + 13 = 16

We got a singing gourd, a smart pooch, a tricky cat, a lizard who can dish out the hurt and the heals, and a beautiful rat who ties it all together. We don’t need help from snakes anyway! Just try to keep outta of our way.

ready!

Fuschia will give them the Sense Motive stare and if they seem legit, move on.

Yeah. We killed ooze-Tomil too. Poetic justice. Doesn't usually happen but it's so sweet when it does.

So when we do the same for Paga, you gonna try and stop us?

Yep!

She then bangs her hammer against the golem’s shin.

Fuchsia prattles on as her friends disable the traps.

One For All (Diplomacy to Aid Another), Badge (E): 1d20 + 4 + 15 ⇒ (19) + 4 + 15 = 38
+2 on the check?

Fuchsia tips her silk hat. All yours.

Onto the next?

With my luck I'll blow us all up.

Fuchsia tumbles and fails twice then stabs. She leaves the flank open for Zarke or Asta just to change things up.

1d20 ⇒ 5

1d20 ⇒ 6

P: 2d6 + 4 ⇒ (4, 2) + 4 = 10

Fuchsia darts in and sets up an Aid for whoever gets the flank by poking at the contraption with her rapier.

Oh, I saw one of these before. Does this help? How about this? poke, poke.

DOuble move, ready to aid

One for All (aid another to gain panache and help out)

Stealth (T): 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (13) + 13 = 26

Fuchsia rubs her swollen jaw. We're ALWAYS injured, and we ALWAYS need help! She smiles with gratitude at Zarke as he does the usual healing work.

Soiunds good to me — after we heal up

Let's stash this loot here. Either we'll be able to come back for it or…

+2 crit success for Yutuur's attack and panache for Fuchsia when her reaction triggers.

Fuchsia parries. She then triggers from all three to establish a flank with Yutuur and Zarke. She then stabs #3 if he's still up after Zarke and Asta's damage. If not, she stabs the other one flanked (2).

Fushsia parries to try and avoid getting hurt more; she then tumbles through to provide a flank for her cat-friend and whiffs.

Move, tumble, strike.

I love this thing. Check it out.

Fuchsia shapes the traveler's any-tool and shapes it into a mini battering ram and charges the door at full speed.

Athletics: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (19) + 15 = 34

Oh yeah!

Well of course; it was a very devious creature. By the way, totally unrelated, but it looks more like a feline than a rodent to me. Wouldn't you say?

Fuchsia looks for the statue that was in here while everyone heals up, trying not to feel useless.

I hope there aren't too many of them around here.

Fuchsia ducks under the errant ray; a whisper is glazed in frost. Watch it! I don't have 9 lives like some cat!

Well you only got 4 left but who's counting…

NO!

Fuchsia delays until she has a flank or the beast is up again. She then frantically tumbles through the creature'ss legs, trying to stab it on the way past but missing 8 damage anyway.

She then parries, knowing she is next, but hoping to be of use in providing a flank.

That's a lot of legs — gonna need all the help I can get. Thanks, Zarke.

Acrobatics (M), Guidance: 1d20 + 18 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 18 + 1 = 27

When the cats away, the mouse will play. Don't let me have all the fun, Yutuur! Fuchsia flicks her swarf through the air as she parries, ready for the inevitable onslaught but hoping to provide a flank for her rogue friend.
